143.8…Cookies Galore

Today was my friend Cathi’s  “Cookie Exchange.” She hosts it every hear (I couldn’t go last year. Wahhhhh!!!) and it’s always a blast. You are to bring five dozen homemade cookies. One dozen are for the “tasting table” and the other four dozen are for the guests to take home.

What is better on a Sunday than champagne, friends and loads of sugar?

To cut some of that sugar, Cathi always has out delicious appetizers.

Part of the job is tasting all the cookies and voting which one is “best in chocolate” and which one is “best in show.” It’s a difficult job.

After all the tasting you grab your tin and take a couple of each cookie to bring home!
